Let's see, Israel is the largest foreign recipient of our taxpayer's dollars. Israel gets $3 billion each year. Israel has 7.5 million citizens. If I do my math correctly that works out to $400 per Israeli each year of American taxpayers wealth being redistributed to them. Is this an example of socialism? A few years ago I backpacked throughout South and Central America for a year. I met many Israelis along the backpack circuit. They say that 75% of young Israelis like to get out and see the world for about the same time as I was traveling. I couldn't help but think that American taxpayer dollars is subsidizing that lifestyle. Israelis are nice people but they, as our European friends are, wealthy too.

Republicans love Joe Wilson who uttered "YOU LIE" to the president when he was simply maintaining the Bush policy of providing health care to people who showed up at the hospital with the wrong skin hue. Here's a question to all the card-carrying Republicans out there. When Jesus says, "How you treat the least amongst you, is how you treat me." Who are the least amongst us?

I have known many Republicans throughout my lifetime. And yes, they have often been eager to talk about "Operation Eagle Claw." Remember, that was the failed mission to rescue the 52 Americans held hostages in Iran in 1980. A sandstorm caused a helicopter to crash and these Republicans were very quick to excoriate Jimmy Carter who ordered the mission. Now, to all my fellow conservative friends out there, if these Republicans are quick to blame Jimmy Carter for that failed mission, who should get credit for eliminating Osama Bin Laden?
